MATHER HIGHLIGHTS ENERGY SAVING BUSINESS LOANS

Jim Mather Argyll & Bute MSP, urges Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SME), private sector landlords, not-for-profit organisations and charities to apply for an Energy Review to check if they are eligible for interest free loans from £1,000 to £100,00 to help their businesses to install renewable energy technologies or measures to reduce energy consumption. The Energy Savings Trust, funded by the SNP Scottish Government , aims to support companies taking action to reduce their energy bills.


Jim Mather said:

"It is often low cost actions that are all that are required for an organisation to save money, improve its competitive position and help the environment. Successful businesses are those making efficient use of energy and resources thus driving their costs down.

I therefore wholeheartedly encourage businesses and charities in Argyll and Bute to take advantage of this Government funded Energy Savings Trust which provides funds to help cut energy usage and get the most out of energy used."
